Are you sure you did not remove any package you should not?
Are you using gnome? kde?

I think pulseaudio is responsible for allowing ordinary users  to access the
sound devices in F8.

I only had a similar problem when I tried to open another X screen for
directing mplayer
to my  tv-out, and pulse was not running, of course, for the new screen.

I had to create an audio group for this case, which allowed me to do that
without being root,
or accessing the audio devices from a remote login.
